Foolproof Hangover Cures for Mornings When You Can't Even

As we grow older and wiser, with increasingly pickled livers, we all develop our own ways to cure a hangover, and each person's go-to hangover remedy is slightly different. Some people chug a gallon of water, while others swear by the hair of the dog. But some mornings (or mid-afternoons, as the case may be), you're suffering from a hangover that's so severe that your regular hangover cure just doesn't seem to do anything. That's when you need to bust out the big guns: a quick and easy hangover cure that'll make you feel human again in less time than it takes to roll out of bed and hop into the shower even when it feels like your head is three sizes too big.

If you're looking for an easy way to rid yourself of whatever hangover ails you, or something that'll help you take care of yourself after a long night out, these five foolproof hangover remedies are just what you need—even though the science behind eating greasy food or drinking more booze to cure your hangover is a little bit dubious. But as the editors say here at Extra Crispy, these five hangover cures probably can't undo last night, but they can definitely try.
